For schools and educators
Ideas make school: because there is not always enough time for creativity and artistic activities in everyday school life, the Festspielhaus has developed programs for school classes and educators with partners and sponsors. The Summer School and Kolumbus - Discover Classics! directly address the learning needs of pupils. In IM.PULS the motto is: Clear the stage for the pupils!
Teach the Teachers
Inspired by artists
Tools for teachingMaking music and dancing enrich the personality, something that educators can witness and realize for themselves in our wide variety of training courses – and then test out what they have learned with their students straight away the next day. This offering is based on the educational standards of the state of Baden-Württemberg and is supported by the Hanns A. Pielenz Foundation.
Columbus school project
Well prepared to encounter the stars
The school project is a perennial favorite. Since 2011, grenke AG and the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden have been working together to provide lively music lessons. The Festspielhaus provides pupils with tickets for the price of 10 euros. Teachers receive teaching material to help them prepare for their visit to the event, which is adapted to the school curriculum in collaboration with the regional council. Simply register and take part! P. Genero T 07221 3013 - 169
Information
Music theater by and for young people
Diggin' Opera
What role do new media play in imparting knowledge of music and opera? This is the question that is explored in the multi-year project Diggin’ Opera. In cooperation with the felicitas and werner egerland foundation, artists work together with young people to create music theater using digital tools. In 2021, the project received a Young Ears award.
IM.PULS
The music education program for students
What role can music play in my life as an adult? What does it mean to turn one’s love of music into a profession? Launched in 2021, this music education program brings internationally successful artists together with high school students who have chosen the subject of music as their focus. In the 2024/25 school year, students from Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden will meet the Ensemble Recherche. This time around they will be composing together – inspired by Pierre Boulez, who would have turned one hundred in 2025. The result of the young people's creative exchange with artists can be enjoyed on the Festspielhaus stage on July 24, 2025. IM.PULS is made possible by the T. von Zastrow Foundation.
Summer School
In the Baden-Württemberg Summer School, artists and educators motivate third graders as they are about to enter fourth grade. The idea: outside of school, previous learning material is combined with an exciting topic in the last week of the summer holidays and thus repeated in a creative way. In the Festspielhaus, children will invent their own music theater and present it to their proud relatives and friends at the end of the project week.
